Rookie starters

[Davidson Deac II]

Neither Robinson or Connor are rookies. And Connor has been on the team for two seasons and played in 19 games. He played in every single game last season. Has 34 tackles in his career.

Duh, just my Alzheimers kicking in.

just talking bout Lafell and him playing tomorrow night is making me get a hard on

[Mr. Burgundy]

matt moore channels his 'inner jake' and clausen starts by week 12

[Humble Pie]

People just like the prospect of the high profile rookie starter.

That's all.

I said this in another thread but both Hardy and LaFell were locks for the first round during their college careers. Hardy was a lock after his sophomore year and LaFell was considered one of the 2 best receivers in college at the end of his junior year. Both guys were severely hurt by staying in school instead of leaving early. They aren't getting the national attention Clausen is getting but in their own right were just as highly touted at some point and actually have a much better chance of starting than Clausen barring a string of injuries.

I think why Hardy dropped so much was cause of injures. I hope he will be solid but I cant help but to think he might be made of glass. Never really can tell though.

He was out several games his junior year for a non contact injury- he had a stress fracture to his right foot. His senior year he started out with a sprained ankle (the other one) and then broke his wrist. So yeah he has had injuries his last 2 years although had none his first 2 years.

He might be fine if we use him in pass rush situation where he isn't in on every down. Who knows about injuries though. Smith was healthy for a few years and broke his arm twice in 6 months time.
